Or, if he's another type, he pulls his head into his shoulders and hopes, He hopes that he'll win a sweepstake, that Mother will join AA, that the kids will stop bullying him, and that it'll be a mild winter. Either way, he has to make a decision--whether to act or hope. Not so the government. Municipal, provincial or feder- al, it has a much neater way out of dilemmas. It appoints a body to look into the matter. And in this case, body and corpse are often synonymous, Ask a municipal council for new streetlights, adequate sew- age disposal, or patches for the potholes. It listens politely, and promises to "refer the matter to the proper committee". Six months later, when your fine fire of indignation has fizzled out, the council announces that the request would cost too much. Ask a provincial government for more booze outlets, for big- ger highways and smaller schools, and it immediately ap- Points a commission. After studying the matter for two years, the commission announ- ces that, having weighed all the factors, it has decided that the best solution is an increase in the sales tax. Ask a federal government to do something about unemploy- ment, segregation or culture and it appoints a Royal Comm' s- cion, This sounds more impos- ing than the town c ouncil's "committee," but serves the same function. After four years of intensive study by the top men in the land, the commission states, in a 784-page brief, that unemploy- ment is bad, or that segregation is silly, or that culture is good. You think I'm exaggerating? Tell me, then, why the govern- ment recently appointed the Royal Commission on Bilingua- lism and Biculturalism. Be- cause it didn't know what to do about all the fuss the people of Quebec have been making? You're right. I wish the commission nothing but the best. But I am certain that its public hearings will•do more to increase French- English irritations than lessen them. I am equally certain that Six Explorers join CGIT group Last Monday evening at Lu- can CGIT meeting in the UC schoolroom the following six former Explorers were initiat- ed; Leslie Carling, marie Coch- rane, Jane Crozier, Carol Has- kett, Joan Lewis and Nancy Wel- ler, The service was conducted by the leader Mrs. Murra.y Flod- gins, president Judy Coughlin and senior girl, Louise Coch- rane.

Judging by the number of com- ments, phone calls, and letters Lucan's correspondent receiv- ed, nearly everyone in Lucan and community must have had friends and relatives attending SS 2 in 1895. Some Lucanites were so interested in the nearly 70-year-old picture, that they are having copies taken off by Lucan's photographer. Many famous citizens, doc- tors, lawyers, dentists, teach- ers, bankers, stenographers, nurses and, at least, one mis- sionary, all got their start in that one-room country school.
